Something very special about this podcast. informative, sometimes combatative between Katie Kay and Smooshi. I cannot stop listening once I've started. BUT, I really loved the gentle flirting between you both, sadly that seems to have stopped. That aside, an utterly magnificent listen. Please, don't stop making such excellent podcasts.
